MyCidian is a free, web-based Chinese-English dictionary designed for native English speakers.
MyCidian is heavily inspired by Jisho.org, my favorite Japanese dictionary website. One of my biggest priorities when designing MyCidian was convenience. I wanted looking up a word to be quick, simple, and actually useful for someone who is learning Chinese.
This project is the child of Zeb Barrett — that's me. With my basic IT skills, a lot of trial and error and the blood, sweat, and tears of Claude Code, and four very long nights in the basement, the first version of MyCidian was born.
This project is still ongoing and will only get better. It's free and staying that way. Web only, with no app planned. Ad-free for now; if that ever changes, signing in will remove them.
